TOPIC: Caleb’s Victorious Faith (II) (Mountain Of Fire and Miracle Ministries, MFM Daily Devotional 19 April 2021)
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 2 Samuel 1-4
FIRE SCRIPTURE: Hebrews 11:1-11
1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
2 For by it the elders obtained a good report.
3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
4 By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh.
5 By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.
6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
7 By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.
8 By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went.
9 By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise:
10 For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God.
11 Through faith also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised.
MEMORY VERSE: “But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.” – Hebrews 11:6
MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE:
Faith consists of believing when it is beyond the power of reason to believe.
PRAISE WORSHIP: Take a worship song as led by the Holy Spirit
PROPHETIC WORD FOR TODAY:
WHEN YOU OPEN YOUR TWO HANDS IN FAITH, YOU WILL RECEIVE DUMBFOUNDING BLESSINGS, IN THE NAME OF JESUS.
The MESSAGE:
Without faith, there is no meaningful thing you can get from God. If you come to God, you must believe that He is able to do what you from Him. Our faith in Him gladens His heart and He can do more than we expect. In Ephesians 3:20, the Bible says, “Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,”

Celeb’s stand and report can be likened to the above scriptures. Just like Abraham in Genesis 15:6 who believed in the Lord and it was counted unto him for righteousness.
In the Old Testament, faith implied two things: trust in or reliance on God and loyalty or faithfulness to Him. Caleb saw the Promised Land they went to spy like the other ten spies, but he also remembered that God started them out with a great deliverance in Egypt and at the Red Sea, when all hope seemed to be lost. He saw the giants as meat for the Israelites and not the other way round. As a result of this, he was preserved.
Without faith in God, you will become a prey to the enemy. Without faith in God’s promises, you will be a victim all the days of your life and even lose what you have already received.
Are you ready to be courageous like Caleb? Then the Promised Land is your starting point. God is willing to preserve you until that promise you believe in comes to pass.
The fear and negative report of the ten spies robbed them entry into the Promised Land while the victorious faith of Caleb gave him access to the Promised Land. Beloved, get rid of fear and the grasshopper mentality today. They are counter-productive. They will rob you of the needed strength and courage to forge ahead and succeed. They will fill you with discouragement and birth failure. Rather, embrace the victorious faith of Caleb. Since God has spoken and given you His promise, believe that you can do it. You can possess that possession. Believe also that, though giants may be on your way to hinder you, God is with you and will give you victory.
PRAYER POINTS:
MORNING
- Heaven over my destiny, open by fire, in the name of Jesus.
- Spirit of fear, I bind and cast you out of my life, in the name of Jesus.
- I reject the grasshopper mentality, in the name of Jesus.
EVENING
- Any evil occupant in the land of my inheritance, come out and die, in the name of Jesus.
- I receive the victorious faith of Caleb, in the name of Jesus.
- Father, give me the faith that never waivers, in the name of Jesus.
- I shall get to my Promised Land, whether the enemy likes it or not, in the name of Jesus.
